Former first lady Jill Biden accused the media of applying a “double standard” in its coverage of her husband, former President Biden, when compared with President Trump.
While promoting her memoir last month, the former first lady was asked during a Q&A session about media coverage during her husband’s presidency. She said the former president would have been “excoriated” had he been responsible for much of what is happening under the current administration.
“You know, if Joe would have done any one of the things that are occurring now, I mean he would have been excoriated,” she told “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who moderated the discussion.
“But, you know, it’s just there, it’s like there’s a double standard. And that I don’t think is fair or was fair,” Biden added.
The former first lady also suggested the Biden administration could have done more to build stronger relationships with reporters at the time, saying she regretted not engaging with the press as much as she could have.
“Maybe we could have done more to reach out to the press to be more open so that they understood us as real people and not sort of these figureheads,” Biden said. “That’s one thing I do regret, that maybe we could have formed closer relationships.”

That is the thing you old slut, he did nothing but weaken America and get rich.
Media Research Center and others track coverage of President Trump and figures over 90% come up since he came down the escalator in the first campaign.
Positive mentions of Trump achievements gets less than a minute or zero air time.
Meant to add: of over 90% negative.... for Trump.
It’s true. The press has yet to force Trump to disclose his favorite flavor of ice cream
What a big word! She must have learned that in her Doctor class.
Joe’s babysitter says what?
She’s right, there is a double standard. Biden got mostly favorable coverage while President Trump gets mostly negative coverage.
Joey had no standard he was just there.
Chauncey nods
Dr. Jill is 1000% correct. There is most DEFINITELY a double standard.
Just not how she thinks of it.
She must be smoking crack with Hunter.
Her arrogance demands nothing short of slavish boot-licking idolatry from the press at all times.
America’s Elena Ceausescu.
“America’s Elena Ceausescu.” LOL.
What fate awaits her?
She must live in an alternate universe. The press fawned over Biden and protected him from any scrutiny.............
